Job Description:

Purpose

We are the Data Strategy & Implementation team. We own the pipelines that
bring data into our platform and the curated data products that flow back out
to our partners. From onboarding a brand-new source, to building and hardening
the ETL that moves and shapes it, to publishing governed data products, we are
the team that turns raw, scattered data into trusted, reusable assets the wider
business depends on.

People
You will join a close-knit group of data engineers and analysts who take real
ownership of what they build. We value people who dig into problems end to end,
recognize each other's contributions, and are always looking for a smarter,
faster way to work — including making the most of modern AI tooling.

Presence
We work in a hybrid model, combining focused remote days with regular in-person
collaboration. You will partner daily with source-system owners, platform and
networking teams, and the partners who consume our data products.


WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS
Everything downstream — analytics, reporting, AI models, regulatory and
compliance deliverables — depends on data arriving cleanly, securely, and on
time. As a Data Engineer on this team, you are at the front of that chain. You
will onboard new sources into our ingestion framework, build and debug the
Databricks notebooks and ETL that process them, and open the right paths through
firewalls and access controls so the data can flow. Your work directly
determines how quickly the business can act on new data and how much they can
trust it.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Independently design, build, and debug Databricks notebooks and ETL

• pipelines that ingest and transform data from a wide range of sources.

• Onboard new data sources into our ingestion framework end to end — from first

• connection through to a production-ready, monitored pipeline.

• Establish secure connectivity to source systems: work through networking

• fundamentals to open firewalls, and provision the right access across diverse

• database and API technologies.

• Write secure, high-performance ETL code that scales, using Python, Spark, and

• PySpark on Azure Data Factory, Azure Databricks, ADLS, and Delta Lake.

• Own the reliability of your pipelines — troubleshoot issues, tune performance,

• and keep data flowing accurately into curated data products.

• Collaborate with source owners, platform, networking, and partner teams to

• deliver ingestion and data-product work on the release cadence.

WHERE YOU'LL WORK

This is a hybrid role. You will spend part of your week working remotely and
part collaborating with the team and stakeholders in person. Expect close
day-to-day partnership with the data engineers, analysts, and platform teams who
keep our ingestion and data-product delivery moving.

EXPERIENCE AND / OR EDUCATION

• Hands-on experience building and debugging data pipelines on Azure Databricks,

• Azure Data Factory, ADLS, and Delta Lake.

• Strong programming skills in Python, plus practical experience with Spark and

• PySpark for large-scale data processing.

• Solid grounding in relational databases and SQL, with the ability to provision

• and troubleshoot access across a variety of database technologies.

• Working knowledge of networking fundamentals — enough to open firewalls to

• data sources and reason about connectivity between systems.

• Comfort with API basics and common authentication patterns, and the judgment

• to write secure, high-performance ETL code.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Experience onboarding new sources into an established ingestion framework.

• Familiarity with building or exposing curated data products for downstream or

• partner consumption.

• Exposure to data governance, data quality, or data lifecycle management

• practices.

• Experience using AI-assisted development tools to speed up engineering work.

• A track record of strong end-to-end ownership and mentoring or recognizing

• teammates.

WHY JOIN US
You will own meaningful problems from end to end and see your pipelines power
analytics, reporting, AI, and compliance work across the business. We invest in
breadth — you will get exposure across ingestion and data-product delivery and
room to grow toward more senior engineering or product ownership paths. If you
enjoy solving real connectivity and performance challenges, take pride in secure
and reliable code, and want to work with a team that genuinely supports each
other, we would love to hear from you.
